Benefit for Heather

Saturday night, Steve and I attended the Benefit dinner for Heather Will. She is Michelle's cousin who was injured in a car accident in 2009. We had a lot of fun. I won a $50 gift certificate to the Red Geranium Restaurant and I bought a painting done by Heather herself in the live auction. Heather is an inspiration to everyone around her. Her story makes me count my blessings. Every time I look at her painting that will hang in Conner's bedroom, I will remember how lucky we are.

Bowling Update

Bowling League Update!!! Last week was my best week ever. This week was my worst ever. But, who can have this much fun on a bowling league???  These 4 Goofballs can. We have a BLAST together. I will be sorry when it is over.

Happy Birthday Brady

Tonight, Conner and I went to Brady's house to help celebrate his 2nd Birthday. We had Pizza, Bread sticks, cake, and Ice Cream. He got lots of cool toys for his Birthday. The boys had a lot of fun playing together and Conner didn't want to leave. Happy Birthday Brady!!!!!!

Bowling League



Tonight was the first night of our "Margarita Bowling League." We did so good. Jamie had to back out tonight because Sidney got sick, so Michelle thankfully stepped up. We had a blast and we beat our opponents, made up of 3 guys and 1 gal.  I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. I can't wait till next Monday.

Happy Birthday Pam C.

Last night, we went to Willow Bowling Center to celebrate a good friend, Pam Chavez, birthday. The guys came too, just no pictures of them. The foursome of girls that went are starting a bowling league on Monday night. It is the Margarita Bowling League. We were practicing our skills and taste testing the Margaritas  Saturday night. Thank God it is just for fun, hence the name "Margarita League.", because I suck..   More to follow Monday night!!!!

Lunch With Friends

Saturday, I enjoyed lunch with some old friends. My friend Melissa was in town from California, which doesn't happen that often. It was a great time and long overdue. We went to Bar Louie's, one of my favorite places to go. It was good to see everyone!!

Christmas with the Broekers

Wednesday night, we celebrated Christmas with the Broekers. We went to their house and they ordered pizza and made cookies. We exchanged gifts. Conner got a pirate ship, a book, and some dinosaur pajamas from The Broekers. He got a homemade monogrammed towel with a green tractor from his God Grandparents (Jamie's parents). We got Hannah a jewelry making kit, some magnetic fashion dolls, and some fashion design plates. We got Kyle a magic kit, a card game, and an "I SPY" game. We are expecting a magic show and some bracelets the next time we visit. We had a great time celebrating with them.
